We paused before a House that seemedA Swelling of the Ground—The Roof was scarcely visible—The Cornice—in the Ground—

Since then—'tis Centuries—and yetFeels shorter than the DayI first surmised the Horses' HeadsWere toward Eternity—

- Emily Dickinson, Because I Could Not Stop for Death

I love Emily Dickinson's poems and this has always been a favorite. I used to have it memorized. The events of this past week made it pop into my head when I sat here to post my Sunday Saying. It is sad when life is cut short for anyone. We received news that Little Ian passed away this last Thursday. He was only 6 months old, but was such a fighter. I am grateful for my testimony that families can be reunited in heaven and that Ian is with Heavenly Father watching over his family. Another sad happening took place tonight. One of our little 6 week old kittens died after a fall. There was nothing we could do to help him and it's so hard to explain to Toddler that he will not be waking up and went to live in Heaven. What a sad week.
